SC Men Spotlight: Kenny Guyett

Kenny recently celebrated one year of sobriety. God is radically transforming his life and using him in powerful ways. We asked Kenny to share a piece of his story.

Q: What brought you to Sandals Church?
A: A friend named Derek invited me to Sandals Church back in 2018, but I didn’t start attending until early 2023. I was struggling and going through a really difficult season when I felt the Lord calling me to come to church. I began attending on my own every Saturday and Sunday, and over time, I made the decision to fully surrender my life to Jesus. I knew there was no turning back.

Q: What steps did you take this past year that helped change your life?
A: I knew I wanted to serve, so I attended a Sandals Connect gathering where I learned the mission and vision of Sandals Church and discovered my next step. I was baptized shortly after and began serving on the Next Steps team, where I get to help others take meaningful steps toward Jesus. I also made a commitment to model for my daughter, Sloane, what it looks like to follow Jesus and be involved in church. We started attending regularly together, and she has been welcomed with open arms. She loves being here and truly feels like this is her home. As a single dad, that means everything to me.

Q: How is God using you now?
A: I recently celebrated one year of sobriety, and God has opened doors for me to baptize close friends and encourage young adults by sharing my journey from the past year. I’ve joined a discipleship group where I’m learning what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus and how to disciple others.
On the weekends, I intentionally look for people in the lobby who may need prayer or a simple, genuine conversation—opportunities to share the gospel and offer encouragement. Overall, my relationships have been completely transformed. My friendships are authentic, and I’m truly living out Sandals’ vision of being real.

Q: What would you say to someone who is unsure about giving Jesus a try?
A: Give Jesus a try. People often say that following Jesus means giving up everything—and that’s true. But what they don’t always tell you is that life becomes more meaningful and exciting than you ever imagined. You begin to want this new life more than the old one that once defined you. If you want to hear more about my journey or find your next step, stop by and say hi if you see me in the lobby. I’d love to connect.
